Asus Xonar Essence ST - Manual (Page 48)

41 ASUS Xonar Essence ST
I found no sound effects when playing 96K or 192KHz sound sources.
• Currently Xonar Essence ST effects including Dolby supports common
44.1K, 48KHz sound sources processing and provides high-definition
audio (96K/192KHz) in hi-fidelity playback. This is also usually the
behavior that professional audiophiles and musicians prefer.
• If you still want to have the effects, you can use some editing software
such as Ableton Live, Cakewalk, CoolEdit, or Soundforge to convert the
sounds into 48KHz files.
3. Note that the frequency meter on Xonar Essence ST Audio Center panel will
not take effect either when the playback source is 96KHz or 192KHz sample
rate to prevent any processing distortion.
